What just went bang?

Oryx

All the boards sites just went down for a half hour or so.

Do I need to worry?

Matt Holck

I never worry 'til after 24hours has gone by

Karl Hungus

I fingerbanged the server.

Well could you stop doing it to boards.org.uk. It's still down

No major oops, just had to bring it down a sec - takes a while to get going again, I'm afraid!

Does that mean I have power over people in the real world now too?

And alas, Scotland is well-known for the low-fat and low-sugar diet of its citizens.

If You Post All In Caps It Turns Out Like This. It's Basically A Shout Filter.

The whole post has to be in capitals. This includes the quote tags and everything in between. I wonder is there a way that can be changed though.

Vexorg

The "shout filter" options are

Prevent your users 'shouting' in their thread titles/message text by changing all-uppercase titles with at least this many characters to capitalization only on the first letters of some words.

Set the value to 0 to disable this function.

Disable this for some international forums with different character sets, as this may cause problems.

The Help for the option is

Prevent 'SHOUTING' Users who type words in all CAPS will have them changed to first-letter-capitalization only, or all lowercase, depending on the word(s), if the text contains at least this many characters.
If you set this to 0, this function will be disabled.
For some international forums with different character sets this setting may cause issues, and in that case should be disabled.
